Misc. progress thread

Re: Misc. progress thread

I weigh ~174 lbs

None of my workouts match these exactly, but I can estimate.


Squat 5x5 - 255lbs (I've done 4x5 starting at 245lbs and increasing by 10lbs each set)

Bench press 5x5 - 215lbs (I've done 4x7 at 205lbs and 3x6 at 215lbs)

Overhead press 5x5 - 145lbs (I've done 1x6, 1x5, 1x4 consecutively at 155lbs)

Bent-over rows 5x5 - I don't do this lift

Deadlift 1x5 - 315lbs (I've never actually tried 315lbs, but I've done 1x5 at 305lbs when I wasn't fresh)

Shoulder shrugs 3x8 - I don't do these

Bicep curls 3x8 - I do these, but I can't make a good estimate. The answer is <= 45lbs though.

Lying overhead triceps extensions / overhead barbell skullcrushers 3x8 - I don't do these

Re: Misc. progress thread

I am curious, where are everyone's lifts at for the following, if you happen to know / are able to test / if you ever do these at all?

Squat 5x5 - 290 (I blame my hip injury; seriously it was way higher)
Bench press 5x5 - 245 (Down 5 lbs as of 2 months cutting)
Overhead press 5x5 175
Bent-over rows 5x5 No idea
Deadlift 1x5 405 (haven't trained this at all over the last few months, so lower)
Shoulder shrugs 3x8 No idea
Bicep curls 3x8 60 (dumbbells)
Lying overhead triceps extensions / overhead barbell skullcrushers 3x8 No clue


Basically, weak.

Re: Misc. progress thread

I don't really know what my 5x5's are but I know my 1 rep maxes so I guess I can just put those down.

Bodyweight: 150lbs

Squat: 325lbs
Bench press: 265lbs (could probably do 270)
Overhead press: No idea, probably terrible. Like 135 or something.
Bent-over rows: With a barbell, I've never tried, but I can one armed row like 125lbs.
Deadlift: 300lbs or something like that. Haven't DL'd in like 2 years.
Shoulder shrugs: I don't.
Bicep curls: 145lbs is my best for one rep.

I'm actually back into squatting now. Northstrong has been helping me do recovery for my back and so far so good. Squat form has taken a huge improvement and I'm no longer feeling any pressure or pain in my lower back. Been taking videos of form to proactively keep tabs on what I can improve upon.

wait i'm dying. holy shit arch.



on another note other than SC's monster cawk...

How would you feel if someone came up to you that you see at the gym like every day and asked to be work out partners?

Re: Misc. progress thread

I still find it ridiculous that SCWolf only weighs 150lbs.

Anyways, today I will be attempting to set new 1RM records in the bench and deadlift. On Wednesday I will do squat and overhead press. Current goals are:

Bench: 265lbs (~1.5x bodyweight)
Squat: 315lbs
Deadlift: 365lbs
OHP: 185lbs


Edit:


I ended up doing OHP today as well. Results are:

Bench: 255lbs (Failed at 265lbs. Was sort of close)
Deadlift: 365lbs (I got it, but my form was terrible)
Overhead Press: 185lbs (I have this on video if anyone is interested)

Yeah, I don't know how that granite wall (ripped and shredded out of his marbles) is so damn strong for now tiny he is.

Re: Misc. progress thread

Thanks guys, I appreciate it :')

Shouka those are some really good numbers man, great job!

My 1rm bench is not as impressive to me, personally, as my 225lbs for 10 reps. I would say that was my best gym accomplishment since I started.

Re: Misc. progress thread

I can only 225 for 8.

This fucking guy.

I really wish I had more time to lift :(

Re: Misc. progress thread

Man, squatting a new weight I have never lifted before always makes me a little fearful. Then I do the first set and it's not-so-bad.

Re: Misc. progress thread

Nothing to fear. You can always drop the weight in a power rack if you get stuck, or just sit down.

Re: Misc. progress thread

Welp, I failed my squats today. Made it to set 4/5, but botched the fifth rep. My form, somehow, goes to shit around this threshold (95 lbs). I've got to be doing something wrong.

Re: Misc. progress thread

its a haaaard lift especially when you come from having no muscle mass buddy don't get down

Re: Misc. progress thread

Out of curiosity, how much are you squatting now?
